ABOUT ME

Laura Zahn
I live in Fort Bragg, California where I attend College of the Redwoods' fine furniture program. My aim is to develop a craft that will feed my soul. Before this departure I worked on energy and climate change issues for UCLA, the mayor of LA and various non-profits. Besides working with wood, I like to cook, eat, read, hike, swim and drink tea. This blog is intended to be a space where I can share my experiences with friends and family as well as focus my own thoughts. If you’d like to get in touch with me, please feel free to leave a comment.
